I can't believe that we are still having this conversation. Does anyone really dispute that:
1. There are Republicans who disagree with other Republicans.
2. Some of these Republicans are willing to do so in public.
3. There are Democrats who disagree with other Democrats.
4. Some of these Democrats are willing to do so in public.
5. As a general rule, the Democratic Party is less well organized, and stays on message less often, than the Republican Party.
6. Republican possession of all three branches of government tends to make Democratic criticism of other Democrats less likely, and Republican criticism of other Republicans more likely.
